Switching Diode in Electronics: In discussing the rectifier diodes, the importance of reducing the reverse-bias current and the power losses under forward bias to the minimum was emphasized. But in…
PN Diode Switching Times: A P-N junction diode may be used as an electrical switch. The electrical circuit can be made 'on' and 'off' by forward biasing or reverse biasing…
Zener Diode Terminals Articles: Construction and Working of Zener Diode: Zener diode, also sometimes called the breakdown diode, is a P-N junction diode specially designed for operation in the breakdown…
Theory of PN Junction Diodes Articles: Diode Failure Modes and Causes: We would certainly like for solid-state components to be 100% reliable but this is unfortunately not true. All solid-state…
Regulated and Switching Power Supplies Articles: Regulated and Unregulated Power Supply: Almost all electronic devices used in electronic circuits need a dc source of power to operate. The source of…
PN Junction Diode Interview Questions and Answers: 1. What is a P-N junction? Ans. The contact surface between the layers of P-type and N-type semiconductor pieces placed together so as to…
Zener Diode Interview Questions and Answers: 1. What is a zener diode? Ans. Zener diode, also sometimes known as breakdown diode, is like an ordinary P-N junction diode except that it…
Switching Circuits (Multivibrators) Interview Questions and Answers: 1. What is an electric switch? Ans. An electric switch is a device that can turn on or off current in an electrical circuit.…
